Well, I am using the right applications. What I am having here is this:
I write an .lircrc file, such that I for example can start xterm but also
the tv-application. I think I know also how to edit the lircrc such that I
can control for example xawtv along with it. However, although in the
beginning I can use the remote and open for example a terminal with it, at
the point when I start my tv application the remote stops working.
Then I have to unload the modules manually and reload them again. Note, that
I load lirc_gpio along with parameters (gpio_mask, gpio_lock_mask).
It seems as the tv-aplications overwrites these parameters but in fact I
just don't know.

I'm fairly certain that the program you wish to use lirc with needs to be
"lirc aware" - I could be mistaken though.

I did it so and it works now! i have misconfigured it before. Instead of
choosing "Linux Input Layer" i choosed "Hauppauge TV Card".
But another problem:
i fill my lircd.conf with values and started irexec, this works so far.
But only when hitting ir controls 1-9, it seems that this button is
interpreted 2x and xawtv doesn't switch to next channel, but 2 channels
next!
Do you understand my problem?
The other buttons work nice.
thanks 4 help

Hi everybody,
I have a Lifeview Flyvideo A2 with remote control. I get the remote working
if I load the lirc_gpio module along with some parameters (gpio_mask, etc.)
. However, once I start a tv application the remote stops working. After
that I have to unload all modules (lirc_gpio, lirc_dev and bttv) and reload
them again before it starts working again. Thus, right now I can't use the
remote along with the tv.
Does anyone know a solution. Is it related to the bttv module?

I think you should try a fresh checkout (i.e. delete all your current
files and check them out again from cvs)
then run ./configure again and choose Driver Configuration -> Other
(Midi, Bluetooth) -> Linux Input Layer
If it still doesn't compile then there's either something wrong with the
lirc sources or with your system. I just tried the above procedure here
on my 2.6.0-test11 box and it works fine without any errors or warnings.

this sounds like the lird daemon wants to talk to a "regular" lirc device ??

Hi LIRCers,
I have recently attached the Actisys IR-200L on my RH9 box.
I want to use it to send signals to my Scientific Atlanta 2100 cable box.
Everything seems to be running fine. I have renamed my second instance of
lirc (first one is for the Hauppauge grey remote) remote.
/proc/interrupts says remote_sir is on irq 4
/proc/ioports says remote_sir is on 0x3f8
That means its on COM1. Good.
Some have suggested to use the Scientific Atlanta 2000 remote conf file and
just add "frequency 57000" for the 2100. I did that but to no avail.
I have also tried creating my own conf file with irrecord. I see dots as I
press buttons on the SA2100's remote. I write the file and try using it but
again, it does not work.
Any suggestions? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks very much!

I tried cvs version, but it didn't work.
I did configure as before with kernel 2.4, but i think lirc doesn't
compile because of 2.6...
Hereis the cvs version error message:
lircd -nd /dev/input/event2
lircd 0.7.0pre1: lircd(hauppauge) ready
lircd 0.7.0pre1: accepted new client on /dev/lircd
lircd 0.7.0pre1: could not get hardware features
lircd 0.7.0pre1: this device driver does not support the new LIRC
interface
lircd 0.7.0pre1: major number of /dev/input/event2 is 13
lircd 0.7.0pre1: LIRC major number is 61
lircd 0.7.0pre1: check if /dev/input/event2 is a LIRC device
lircd 0.7.0pre1: caught signal
What does this mean?

There is a thread about setting up a FlyVideo 3000, which is also
SAA7xxx-based, in the archives. I don't know if your card is supported,
though, you'll have to try for yourself.
Have a look here:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=3190458&forum_id=5339
also have a look at this thread, it might be helpful:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=6317457
(goddamn sf-mailing list archives are such a pita to use...)
You'll need a 2.6 kernel, and you'll have to patch your kernel. The
patches can be found here:
http://bytesex.org/patches/
The driver is designed to use the new linux input layer, so it works
also without lirc, if your application supports it. To make it work with
lirc you'll have to use lirc's usb-input (/dev/input/eventX) support
that is included in the latest versions.
cd yourlircsources
./configure
choose Driver Configuration -> Other (Midi, Bluetooth) -> Linux Input Layer

btw, here's the lircd.conf that David Antliff sent to the list back then
for his FlyView3000 (I can't be bothered to search the entire message
in the archives right now...), maybe it fits your 2000 as well:

Hi everybody,
I am trying to get lirc working with a Lifeview Flyvideo A2 tv-card. When I
load the lirc_gpio module with the right parameters (gpio_mask, etc.) it
works pretty well until I start a tv program. After that the remote doesn't
work anymore and I have to unload the modules lirc_gpio,lirc_dev and bttv
and then reload them again.
Does anyone know how I can solve this problem?
Lucas

Hi,
I am trying to get my remote control working that came with my TV capture
card.
It is a LifeView FlyVideo 2000, with a Phillips SAA7130 chip onboard.
I have seen support talked about for the bt848 version of this board, but
not the SAA7130.
There is an external IR receiver, which internally goes into an 8-bit
microcontroller on the board.
Has anyone gotten this card to work?
I am using Debian 3.0r1 with Linux 2.4.22, saa7134 and v4l2 patches from
bytesex.org on an Athlon XP 2200+ with 512MB RAM.
Thanks!

Other info:
If I delete this line in my /etc/modules.conf alias char-major-61

What can I do?
